UIGETFILE to filter out files with specific string
显示 更早的评论
I'm looking to do something fairly simple. I want to use UIGETFILE to have the user get a specific file. The user will be searching for an xml file in a specific folder - and that part I know how to do. I would like to have UIGETFILE further filter the options based on the string of the file. For example, the folder may contain:
Type1A.xml
Type1B.xml
Type2A.xml
Type2B.xml
...
Type7C.xml
and I would like the user to only be able to select (or see) anything that contains "Type1". In this case they should be able to see "Type1A.xml" or "Type1B.xml".
Not sure how to get this to happen with UIGETFILE or if maybe there is a better way around it. The FILTERSPEC in the input allows me to specify "*.xml" but I would ideally only like xml files with a specific string contained within the file name.
Thanks!

Try passing in 'Type*.xml' for the file pattern in uigetfile().

I tried it and it works fine. What does "no luck" mean to you? Here, try this. Save it as test3.m and run it. What do you see?
% Create a bunch of Type*.xml files in the current folder
% by copying this "test3.m" test script.
copyfile('test3.m', 'Type1.xml');
copyfile('test3.m', 'Type2.xml');
copyfile('test3.m', 'Type03.xml');
copyfile('test3.m', 'Type 4.xml');
[baseFileName, folder] = uigetfile('type*.xml')

Miguel, what's the status of this? Did my answer work now?

It works. I would like to do the same, but to filter just the last letters of the filename.
My Problem: I have the following two files in my folder:
KS_FFT_Pos-7_64364.xlsx
KS_FFT_Pos-7_64364_worked.xlsx
Only the "_worked.xlsx" data works for my following process in MatLab. So I would like to get that the user just have the opinion to select the right excel-data (the worked version).
EDIT: I got it!
It has to be
...uigetfile('*_worked.xlsx',...);
